The St James's Singers will perform Handel's sacred oratorio Israel in Egypt, in Holy Trinity Church, Stratford upon Avon on Saturday, 27 September.
The oratorio describes the oppression of the Israelites in Egypt and their subsequent escape from bondage by their journey across the Red Sea. The emotional story unfolds through some 20 choral sections, complemented by arias, duets, and recitatives.
The choir will be joined by soloists: Carolina Krogius (mezzo soprano), and Martin Quinn (tenor).
The work will be accompanied by the Corelli Orchestra.
